| Shut the front door! My friend says this phrase all the time and I laugh each time I hear it. It was hard not to think of our literal front door never closing. Sometime in March the door decided to just stop doing it's job. So we had to fire it. I left the house daily in hopes our Milkbarn spooky exterior would keep burglars away. |

| See ya later |

| The new siding |
 |
| New Door! We picked the new door up in the section of Home Depot where all the special order doors are returned for whatever reason (love that section!).The minute we saw it, we new it belonged here. Plus, I like the hunt in finding a good deal. |

| Feeling Blue I want to do a blue color on the door. I bought some samples and threw in a red and a gold based on curiosity. I had the family vote on their favorite color. The highest count was for Lakeside Cabin by Benjamin Moore(2nd one down on the right). In a few weeks if we can get our siding done, we will have the house painted and the front door. I can't wait! It's a race between us and the snow. In effort to not speak of snow in September, here are some back to school reports. |

| 7th Grade |
 |
| First Day of Kindergarten I didn't cry but I have never hugged him so tight as I did when he came home and got off the bus. |
 |
| Mr. Big Stuff. First day at Mesa. |
 |
| Audrey(3rd grade) and Henry( 5th grade) on their first day back. |
 |
| My mom says Audrey looks like Carole Lombard(an old Hollywood actress) in this photo. She is pretty adorable. |
 |
| Locker Day We showed up for locker day which just happened to be picture day. I was thinking it was just for ID cards. Nope. For the year book. At least she wore matching clothes!! All I know is that it will be far better than my 7th grade yearbook photo. Mine was taken after I had mono for 3 weeks. I looked almost dead. The miracle for the day was she got an upper locker. No more crouching down to get to her lower locker from last year. Honestly, why don't they ask these kids their height before assigning them? She's now 5'10" and still growing. And while they were at school...I admit, I missed them and felt a little empty. |

| Afternoon friend This doe has been coming in my backyard for the last couple of weeks. She likes our weeds. |

 |
| My 1st hike alone in many MANY years. 12 actually. I took a hike behind our home. It was the kind of day where the air feels like it's not quite summer and not yet fall. So in other words, it was my favorite kind of day. |

| Hiking flowers These flowers were all along my trail. I have never seen so many flowers this late here in the season. |
 |
| These two. My eyes caught sight of these two buddies. It made me think of a quote I read on one of my stationary boxes. "Wherever you are, it is your friends who make your world." -William James Thank you all for being a friend to me. I have been blessed in my life with wonderful friendships. |

| Here is my best friend |
 Friends come in all forms... |
       Here she took me to a local boutique called Eleanor after ice cream one day. She thought I would like it and we walked out with this scarf for her! Now there is a friend and daughter who knows me:) |
